Yikes! Not just IMs

This is getting more and more lurid as the latest congressional scandal spirals out of control.

The latest headline to grip Capitol Hill comes from the Los Angeles Times: A former House page tells the paper anonymously that former Rep. Mark Foley's online flirtation led to sex in the lawmaker's Washington townhouse when the young man was 21.

And a Florida congresswoman says she's learned Foley was turned away from the page dorm late one night in 2002 or 2003.

That's pretty embarassing!

Of course, there are other more important things going on, but you can't help but wonder what else goes on at Capitol Hill.

I can't follow news like that because when someone is being so thoroughly destroyed by multiple forms of media across the country, it's obvious that someone has launched a smear campaign.

My guess is that it is just another case of a politician who was controlled through blackmail and he pissed of the blackmailers. They may have just made an example of him or this could just be part of their agenda. And then there's the possibility that he actually did something good. Maybe he merely refused to do something really bad.

But no one seems to care or think about any of that. Everyone just wants to follow this ridiculous mental coke line of bullshit that is so obviously being fed to them by someone higher than the media. All I hear is "he's so bad! evil evil evil!"
